You can even see the difference: * when you put the float inset into its own paragraph, the following text is indented (or separated by vspace), as it starts a new paragraph. OTOH, lists (like itemize) are by default nested inside surrounding paragraph (in the LaTeX source) while separate paragraphs in LyX. You need to insert a "--- Separator ---" or another empty paragraph to have the first paragraph after a list indented. Günter
